to mg frtotfc, 



H Aborning iReverte* 

How little we think 
As we go through life 
With its countless 
Joys and sorrows, 
How much we might help 
If we only knew 
To avert the trouble 
We borrow. 

In the morning begin 
To be right with yourself, 
And then to your 
Neighbor be true. 
With God as your pilot 
And love at the helm 
The day will be 
Bright for you. 



Zbc ©U> lear, an& tbe IRew. 

The old year has departed, 
With all its joy, and pain, 
To join the band of by-gone years, 
That ne'er will come again. 

The new year now is ushered in, 
With promises, so bright, 
And everything around about 
Is clad in snowy white. 

Emblem of spotless purity, 

For us to make, or mar, 

And if we fill our trembling hearts 

With God's redeeming power. 

The year will be all sunshine 
Sustained each day by day; 
By God's own hand, and loving care 
Throughout the entire way. 



ftbe Still, Small IDotce. 

When we are worn and weary, 

And our hearts are tired and sore, 
And the storms of life are beating 

Around us o'er and o'er, 
Then the still, small voice within us, 

In accents tender and sweet, 
Saying, "Come unto Me with thy burdens, 

And lay them down at My feet. 

Come, all that are heavy laden, 

All who are weak and oppressed, 
All who are sinful and dying, 

And I will give you rest. 
Lay down your cares and sorrows, 

Cast them all upon Me, 
Come to the life-giving fountain, 

And dwell forever with me." 



<§>b ffatbet wben we come to Ubee* 

Oh Father when we come to Thee 
With an earnest, contrite heart, 

Do Thou forgive our trespasses 
And blot out all our past. 

Our idle words and many sins 
That we commit each day, 

In mercy and loving kindness 
Forgive us I,ord, we pray. 

Oh make us pure and gentle. 
Oh make us meek and mild, 

With simple faith within us, 
Just as a little child. 

Oh touch us with Thy spirit; 

Send out its quickening fire, 
That we may feel its presence, 

And know that Thou art nigh. 



1Fn Service tot ©tbers. 

When we are heavy hearted 
And our lot seems hard to bear, 

And everything dark around us 
Seems to give us each a share. 

Then look around about us, 

And see what we can do 
To make our lives grow brighter, 

And everything look new. 

Go out into the by-ways 

And help the suffering poor ; 

Provide for them and comfort them, 
And lead them to the shore. 

In losing ourself for others, 
In services great or small, 

The grander and richer and greater 
Our lives will be to us all. 



How much, the shadows, of the past, 

Would tell, if they could speak, 

And bring up reminiscences, 

That would be well to keep 

Of unkind words and thoughtless acts, 

That we did in the past, 

And which through all of memories train, 

The sting has left its mark. 

So let us stop, as on we go, 
Through life's mysterious way 
And pause and think before we act, 
Then there will be no sad days, 
A kindly word a pleasant smile, 
Will lighten many a heart, 
And sunshine scattered in that way 
Will brighten many a path. 



Ufoe Straight ant) IRarrow XRUay, 

Oh Jesus lend a listening ear 
To Thy children when they come 

To Thee in supplicating tones 
And penitential tears. 

Instill in them the principle 
That they are one with Thee, 

If they will walk the narrow path 
That leads to life and Thee. 

The path, though straight and narrow, 

Is lit up all the way 
By deeds of loving kindness 

Throughout the livelong day. 

By acts of self denial, 

And trials daily met, 
With love and Christian fortitude, 

And character the best. 

To walk with Thee in spirit, 
And talk with Thee in mind, 

Will be the path illumined 
To reach the golden shrine 



1F was Drifting. 

I was drifting, Heavenly Father, 
Swiftly down life's flowing tide. 

And the sands, and shoals beset me, 
Round about on every side. 

Now I'm clinging, Heavenly Father, 
To the bark, of hope and faith, 

And my craft, will soon be landed 
In the haven of Thy grace. 

Soon comes resting, Heavenly Father, 
When the storms of life are o'er, 

In Thy love and tender mercies, 
Safely on the other shore. 



Come to tbe Saviour. 

Come to the Saviour, with thy voice 
In tones of love and praise, 

To Him who all our sorrows bore, 
And death to life did raise. 

Come to the Saviour with thy heart 

Uplifted, pure and clean, 
With love and reverence do thy part, 

A heavenly crown to gain. 

Come to the Saviour with thy thanks, 

Rejoicing every day, 
For all the good and perfect gifts 

He strews upon our way. 

Come to the Saviour with thy fears, 
And cast them all on Him, 

For He will lighten every load, 
And dry away our tears. 



We ate Walking in tbe Sunligbt. 

We are walking in the sunlight, 
And our hearts are filled with joy, 
For we know our Blessed Master, 
Walks beside us as we go. 

Day by day, He guides our footsteps, 
Smoothes the rough and rugged way, 
And we feel His quickening spirit, 
Breathing in us, love and praise. 

We are walking, in the sunlight, 
Of His everlasting love, 
Filling us with countless blessings 
Wafted to us from above. 

We are walking, in the sunlight, 
Purified and saved, by faith, 
And our souls redeemed forever, 
By His blood and saving grace. 



6ofc is SLove. 

God is love! 
What blessed words 
That touches every heart; 
It fills each soul 
With blessed hope, 
And joy to them impart. 

God is love! 

How sweet the sound 

To a repentant sinner's ear ; 

It bids them journey 

On their way 

With faith and loving cheer. 

It bids their mourning 

Heart rejoice; 

It dries away their tears, 

It leads them on 

To heaven above, 

For God, their God is love. 



Bs tbe 5)a^s qo b£. 

How wearily the days go by 
When we have naught to do 
But sit and ponder over things 
That we have failed to do. 
Instead of dwelling on the past, 
Forget it while you may, 
And turn at once with all your might 
To Christ, the truth, the way. 

How cheerily the days go by 
When we have much to do, 
And our hearts and hands are willing 
To help the poor and true. 
With God to help and guide us, 
And fill us with His love, 
Our days will be all sunshine, 
Illumined from above. 



WLc are domino* Blesseb Saviour. 

We are coming, Blessed Saviour, 
Journeying on each day by day, 

To the land where all is sunshine, 
And our sins are washed away 

We are coming, Blessed Saviour, 
Step by step, and hour by hour, 

And the way would seem so dreary 
If we did not feel Thy power. 

But we know, Oh Blessed Saviour, 
Thou wilt guide us lest we stray 

Through the rough and rugged places 
That are strewn along the way. 

If we place our faltering footsteps 
Safely where our Master trod, 

He will lead us, gently lead us, 
Safely to our home with God. 



Buss ate tbe Moments* 

Busy are the moments, 
As they come and go, 

Some are filled with gladness, 
Others fraught with woe. 

Some with joy are radiant, 
Some by faith sustained, 

Some with hope expectant, 
A glorious crown to gain 

Busy are the moments 
As they glide along, 

From the early morning 
To the setting of the sun. 



©b ^lessefc IRefceemer, 

Oh Blesssed Redeemer 

I know Thou art by 
When foes assail us 

And tempests are nigh. 

When the roar of the thunder 

And the lightning's bright gleam 

Sends a thrill and a shudder 
Throughout our whole frame. 

Then out from the darkness, 

And out from the storm 
A sweet voice is whispering, 

Oh wanderer, come home. 



3Loofuna Zftpwarfc. 

Look upward, and onward 
Each day by day, 
With faces undaunted 
By fear and dismay. 
Forgetting past failures, 
To-day start anew, 
With honest intentions 
To be firm and true. 

Start out with a clear 
And a willing mind 
To help God's creatures 
Who, in need, you may find. 
With love and compassion 
Stretch out thy hand, 
And lighten their burdens, 
That joy may abound. 

In thought, word and action, 
And deeds kind and good, 
Which will touch every soul 
With a silvery flood. 
With a heart soft and tender, 
Oh teach us, we pray, 
Of God and our Saviour, 
The truth and the way. 



38e Strong anfc Courageous* 

Be strong and courageous, 
Wherever you go; 
In the roar of battle, 
And the midst of the foe, 
In darkness and danger, 
Be thou not afraid, 
For God goeth with thee, 
And will prosper thy way. 

Be strong and courageous, 
Wherever thou art; 
In sunshine and shadow, 
And turmoil and strife, 
The Iyord will go with thee, 
So be not dismayed, 
For He will protect thee, 
And keep thee always. 

Be strong and courageous 
On land or on sea; 
In storm or in calm, 
Comes a message to thee, 
Saying, L,o I am with thee, 
In the midst of the keep, 
When the waters surround thee, 
Thy spirit I'll keep. 



XTbe TKUan&erer, 

Come to the Lord, with thy sorrows, 
All who are weary of sin, 
Ye who, are lone, and forsaken, 
Come, and find rest, with Him, 
Like the lost sheep on the mountain 
Not knowing where to go, 
Until the voice of the shepherd 
Was heard in the valley below. 

Calling in tones familiar, 

The one that was lost, by name, 

And out from the distant shadows, 

The sheep, responds again. 

And tenderly taking the wanderer, 

And folding him close to his breast, 

The shepherd carries him in his arms 

Safe to his fold, to rest. 

Oh tired, and lonely wanderer. 

List to the shepherd's voice, 

Tenderly calling, and calling, 

That he with thee rejoice, 

He will patiently guide thy footsteps, 

Down the mountain side, 

And carrying thee in his bosom, 

Forever with thee will abide. 



<3ofc our ffatfoet 1Fs. 

God our Father is, 

If we in Him abide, 
He is our life, and health, and strength 

What can we want beside. 

He healeth our disease, 

Forgiveth all our sins, 
And leads, and guides us on our way 

If we but trust in Him. 

He fills the atmosphere, 
With blessings from above, 

And we enveloped in His arms 
May rest in peace and love. 



Ube Saviour's /iDessaae. 

When the evening shades are falling, 
And the sun is in the west, 

A gentle voice is calling, 
Come unto me and rest. 

From all your heavy burdens, 

And crushing load of sin, 
Shake off thy guilty conscience, 

And let the Saviour in. 

For He will give you comfort, 
And ease thy aching heart, 

And peace and joy forever more 
From thee will ne'er depart. 



Hn Evening prater. 

Oh Jesus, my Saviour 

With pitying eye 
Look down with compassion 

On those who draw nigh. 
With loving forgiveness 

For sins confessed, 
And a blessed assurance 

Of peace and rest. 

Bring us nearer and nearer 

Bach day, Lord, to Thee. 
Make each hour a blessing 

Descended from Thee. 
That each one may be numbered 

By moments of joy, 
When each heart shall confess Thee 

My Saviour, my Lord. 

Oh Jesus, my Saviour, 

My Lord and my King, 
In tones of rejoicing 

Thy Praises I sing. 
With love and devotion, 

And homage to Thee, 
My Lord and my Saviour, 

Forever with Thee. 



Uwiltgbt IRevevies. 

I am sitting in the twilight, 

And all around is still, 
Methinks, I hear a whisper, 

To my heart's responsive thrill. 
Saying, I^o, I am with you always, 

So be thou not dismayed, 
For in sunshine, or in shadow, 

My strength, on Thee is staid. 
In tones so sweet and comforting 

The message comes so clear, 
That my pulses thrill and quicken 

And my soul is filled with cheer, 
For I know my precious Saviour, 

With me daily does abide, 
And I'm resting in the promise, 

Oh my Saviour, friend and guide. 



©ne b£ ©ne. 

We are resting by the wayside, 
And our friends are traveling on, 
One by one they reach the portal, 
Of the bourne whence none return. 
But the Saviour goeth with them, 
Through the valley dark, unseen, 
Leading them beside still waters, 
Into pastures fresh and green. 

So my sisters, brothers, fear not 
When the Master's summons come, 
For He will journey with you safely 
To that bright, celestial home. 
In that glorious land of promise 
Where our friends have gone before, 
Purified, redeemed forever, 
With our loved ones evermore. 



11 Mill be witb XTbee 

I will be with thee, 

Jesus says, 
In time of tribulation, 
When friends forsake, 
And troubles come, 
And you are traveling- 
Far from home, 
Then I will be with thee. 

When the heart is weary, 

And sad and torn 

With anxious waiting, 

And all alone, 

Then I will be with thee 

To comfort, cheer and guide } r ou 

Wherever you may be; 

In sunshine and in darkness, 

Then I will be with thee.
